I'm one who thinks a QB change is needed. No, Brunell isn't the only one struggling right now on offense, but he is the team leader, literally and figuratively. It's obvious that he just isn't getting the job done at all.

Something dramatic needs to be done at this point to get the team back on the winning track and I think changing QBs is the only thing dramatic enough to get the team's attention.

I can't help but believe that some of the offensive guys (particularly Gardner, Coles and Portis) are thinking the same thing, but would never say so publicly. They've got to be questioning Brunell's ability and it's the kiss of death when players begin to question one of their teammates, particularly if it's the QB.

I will be the first to admit that I still have major questions about Ramsey, but as Riggo said, he can't be any worse than what we're seeing from Brunell.

Before the season is a complete wash-out, he needs to be given a chance to help turn things around. Sometimes a dramatic change like this is exactly what a team needs.

Otherwise, I see a continued free-fall from the offense, which only serves to further demoralize the excellent defensive effort.
